AB  - The widespread use of synthetic turf in sports has raised health concerns due to 
      potential risks from nanoplastic inhalation or ingestion. Our research focused on 
      detecting nanoplastics in drainage water from a synthetic football field and 
      evaluating the toxicity of these materials after mechanical fragmentation. We 
      collected and analysed drainage water samples for polymer content and subjected 
      high-density polyethylene (HDPE) straws and ethylene propylene diene monomer 
      (EPDM) granules used on synthetic football fields, to mechanical breakdown to 
      create nanoplastics. The results indicated the presence of trace amounts of EPDM 
      in the water samples. Furthermore, the toxicological assessment revealed that the 
      broken-down nanoplastics and leachate from the surface of EPDM rubber granules 
      exhibited high toxicity to Daphnia magna, while nanoplastics from the inner 
      material exhibited no significant toxicity. The findings highlight the urgent 
      need for future research to identify these specific toxic agents from the surface 
      of EPDM granules.
